Hmm, I think @UKOOGroup and the developers it represents might disagree Helena. Shale gas is by far the most disadvantaged of any energy infrastructure projects

CCUS could store up to 78 BN tonnes of carbon, approx 180 times the UK’s annual greenhouse gas emissions.
It will also:
Add up to £5 billion to the economy by 2050💷
Support up to 50,000 jobs in 2030👷♀️
Help meet Net Zero targets💡
But what is & how will it grow the economy?

Given wind and solar energy are both dictated by weather conditions, they are by definition unreliable sources of energy.
The UK would also need significant improvements in storage solutions if it were to depend entirely on renewables.
Union Jack plays its role by ensuring a stable supply of onshore oil, helping provide a trustworthy energy source while the UK moves towards a Net Zero Carbon future.

Today marks my last day in charge of @UKOOGroup after 7 years, 2 of which I have had the privilege of running the organisation.

Writing about the Horse Hill planning case, the failure of radical activists to understand trade offs, and moderate politicians the folly of empowering them with virtue signalling climate laws. @iealondon @spectator

Sorry what?
This Conservative Government introduced an effective ban on fracking, which will make the UK dependent on dictators and autocrats – at London, England

Mr Shapps makes the case for fracking quite nicely.
How can the Government take this position on offshore oil and gas but effectively block onshore.

Labour has pledged to stop all new North Sea oil and gas projects.
Charles McAllister: “To meet our 2035 electricity target, we’d need to build the equivalent of the world’s largest offshore wind farm every 10 weeks. It takes seven to 12 years."
Julia: “I’m not sure we’re going to manage that.”

‘Lord Frost is exasperated by the current moratorium on shale gas exploration.’
“A shale gas facility that’s about the size of Parliament Square can produce the same amount of power as a wind farm 10 times the size of Hyde Park.” That’s a good UKOOG stat! express.co.uk/news/politics/…

This is @UKOOGroup chapter 1 page 1 narrative.
Why the Government think this and then don't actually apply that thinking to the onshore oil and gas industry is bewildering and infuriating.
The fact is that blocking fracking is against the national interest on any grounds.

Last June I gave evidence to the Environment Audit committee hearing on 'Accelerating the transition from fossil fuels and securing energy supplies'.
Today the Government have released their response to the committee's recommendations..

UK energy import bill:
2019: £48bn
2021: £54bn
2022: £117bn!!!
The UK needs to become an attractive place to invest to exploit its abundant energy potential. Had this been done, our import bill wouldn't have increased by x2.5 in 3 years!

🔴 Sir Jim Ratcliffe was among the biggest cheerleaders of fracking for gas in England as the prospect of doing so grew since the turn of the millennium.
But now, his first major production will take place 4,500 miles away ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/business/202…

Last night former BEIS SoS @KwasiKwarteng was on @TalkTV with @TiceRichard and @IsabelOakeshott. When asked about shale, Kwasi said ‘I was never a big fracker’. Verbal confirmation of what we felt in engagement with his department throughout his tenure.

At todays gas price, a single UK shale gas site of 10 wells would give £53 million in local community benefits to be spent as local people see fit. A 40 well site would give £200 million and local people can use it however they see fit. Imports offer precisely zero.

On this day in 2021 the gas price was 49p per therm. On this day in 2022 the gas price was 180p per therm. Today the gas price is 173p per therm. Just because the gas price has declined from the peaks following the Russian invasion does not mean we are back to 'normal'.

LNG is highly carbon intensive, meaning it could undermine the UK's climate ambitions and its plans to repurpose gas for blue hydrogen, warn experts @CityAM

The UK's onshore energy body blasts hypocrisy of Government's decision to chase US LNG supplies. @CityAM
@Cmcallister008 said: "This decision shows that the UK Government supports fracking as a technology, as long as it doesn’t take place in the UK."

UK political elite, united in its opposition to fracking gas in UK, relishes imminent new deal with USA which involves massive import of fracking gas from America, at huge expense in terms of dollar cost, CO2 LNG transport footprint and balance of payments deficit.
